Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen (Super Nintendo, 1993)

Ogre Battle is one of the best games on the SNES. It has a good story that is very nonlinear. It has incredible replay value, giving you alot of character customization, branching storylines, and your choices affect how the story plays out later. The battle system is very different than any other game. You control an army, and on each map you visit you can deploy up to 12 parties. Your parties are little men on the map, and while you are heading towards the enemy main base, the enemies parties are heading towards yours. When your little men touch, you enter a battle on a small box. You do not control your party, instead, depending on the class of your characters, and which row they are in, they will get a different attack that they will use automatically. The side that deals the most damage, after the attacks wins. You also liberate cities and towns, and each time you do you get a tarot card. You can use this in battle, or on the map screen to get various affects. Overall this game is highly regarded by many, but there are major flaws. Teh music is nothing special, and other the story is pretty much your basic RPG fare.
